rkda·11 lat temu·discussCan you post the link to the article? Thanks!Edit: Found it!http://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanshapiro/2013/07/01/it-only...
rkda·11 lat temu·discussPlease please say you'll make one for statistics too. I'd totally buy even though I'm not your target audience. :D
rkda·11 lat temu·discussWhat's your inspiration for the game btw? Also, how did you design it? :D Any advice for people who want to make similar games? :)
rkda·11 lat temu·discussThat would be awesome. I like CodeCombat but it's still direct coding. It'd be nice to learn variables, control flow structures etc but visually. The same way that DragonBox doesn't make it explicit that you're actually learning algebra.
rkda·11 lat temu·discussApparently it became so popular in Norway that it actually beat Angry Birds there. Granted, that was in 2012http://archive.wired.com/geekdad/2012/06/dragonbox/all/
rkda·11 lat temu·discussDon't have kids yet but I'll bookmark this for when the time comes. Thanks! ;-)
